SPAN 132 - (LT) Poetry and the Visual Arts

Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course is designed to discover the transformation of the brush stroke into the written word and the new image that reappears as a new work of art. This  encounter between poet and painter opens new doors of research into the intrinsic relation between the arts.  It is not on a mere whim that so many poets have felt themselves attracted to works of visual art, and at the same time have expressed their interior selves through the contemplation of paintings.  This exploration has caused them to work their way into the canvas itself, and to reside inside the brilliant house of color. After the explorations and readings of other poets in relation to visual arts, students will write personal essays about the relationship between poetry and paintings, photographs or sculptures. This course, as all courses with the SPAN prefix, is taught in Spanish.
